Casserole Ingredients
- 4 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen, no need to thaw if frozen)
- 8 oz cream cheese, cubed
- 4 tablespoons butter, sliced
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Cube the cream cheese into small pieces for even melting. Slice the butter into thin pats for better distribution.
- Layer Corn and Cream Cheese: Place the corn kernels evenly at the bottom of your slow cooker. Distribute the cubed cream cheese on top, then add the sliced butter.
- Add Milk and Seasonings: Pour the milk over the layered mixture. Sprinkle the sugar, salt, and black pepper evenly across the top for balanced flavor.
- Cook on Low: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low temperature for 3 to 4 hours. Stir the casserole every hour to help the cream cheese and butter melt smoothly into the corn.
- Final Stir and Serve: After cooking, give the casserole one last thorough stir to ensure everything is well combined and creamy. Serve warm as a delicious side dish.
Notes
- Cube the cream cheese ahead of time to speed up melting.
- Stir the casserole occasionally during cooking to create a smooth texture.
- Don’t omit the sugar; it enhances the natural sweetness of the corn.
- Use room temperature cream cheese to make mixing easier.
- Both fresh or frozen corn kernels work well; frozen corn can be used directly from the freezer.
- For a richer version, substitute the milk with heavy cream.
